I agree OP, except it was the final Rock/Punk segment that made me skeptical about it.

I feel like the entire show has been put on hold so Punk could face The Rock at RR. . .giving no other wrestler any spotlight the entire time because of it, now it just looks like Punk's going over again.

This makes me feel like the entire year of Raw has been a complete waste of time. I don't think I'm going to sit through another year if the first 2-3 PPVs of this year go the same way. I couldn't take another year of constant disappointment and lack of excitment.

- Rey Mysterio was not backstage at last night's RAW in San Jose. The word within WWE is that he is not considered "back" yet and may not work the Royal Rumble after all. Rey tweeted last night that he was going home to watch RAW with his kids after yoga class.

Now Ziggler is #1 I wouldn't be surprised at all if Cena came out after him, not only winning, but breaking the record for most time in the rumble, hell more eliminations than Kane too. Hopefully I'm wrong Bryan should really be the man to open up, in a rumble with few stars, he's ideal to open up, he's got stamina and he's over.
